Yep thats the boy. ORA has got one on the new website which is imminent.
"Adjust the angle of your rear shocks allowing you to change the travel, articulation and ride quality of your Jimny."

Bluejimny - AVO or similar quality adjustable dampers will be next stage if im not happy. Can you keep us update on this?

The RS9000 shocks? Saw these and thought the remote adjustment was cool :)

Will be interested to hear the results as I have the same issue with my ORA 4.5" kit, am very happy with it apart from the on-road ride sometimes being a little too bumpy. Not a criticism of the kit as it's excellent for what it's designed for, driving off road. Wasn't sure whether to be looking at the springs or the shocks. I did find that the ride was better with a little weight in the back of the car so was thinking softer springs may be an improvement.

Great thread, excellent to see companies getting behind the jimny now in a bigger way and offering off the shelf products.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

RS 9000 shocks are good - I have them on my Wrangler and its nice to be able to adjust them depending on the terrain, and also how uch weight you have in the car. The other thingthat makes a difference is the unsprung weight. Jimnys are a light car and with big heavy wheels and tyres its never going to ride really well. Probably using lighter ally wheels would also help, but whether its worth the expense is another matter. My VVT Jimny has Trailmaster comfort range shocks on it and I find the ride with those ok. Its not too bouncy and equally not too hard. I would certainlly use them again.
